We started as the first commercial effort to bring Android to the PC. We're still at it, now on GitHub rebuilding - combining the best of the open-source world, with cutting-edge commercial drivers, licensed from Intel. (Console.com.co)

Installer express could be facilitated. right on your PC is running, press the button to go to the android and a computer restart the regime itself, without usb. I have to translate through Google translator. therefore understand and forgive)

@arul - Kickstarter staff is working to fix your specific isolated issue. We are not issuing refunds at this time beyond what we agreed with Kickstarter that only impacted around a dozen backers. Please see the email we sent you for the latest status.

We are not refunding people that ask for a refund. We have only refunded around a dozen people who have been an extreme burden on this project, and with our replies, account for half our comment wall... and we did so as a one-time courtesy - specifically so we could focus on our Lollipop release free from distraction.

If you are having Wi-Fi issues with the 64-bit build of Console OS, please try the 32-bit build. For various reasons, the 32-bit builds of Console OS are better with Wi-Fi on many devices. We're working on improving this in future versions.

If the 32-bit build does not resolve it, post in the forums. We want to collect this information to better target the devices that need the most attention. Thanks!

@Jason - We worked hard with kernel porting to provide the best Wi-Fi support of any Android on PC distribution out there. We support Realtek, Broadcom, and Intel Wi-Fi with some Qualcomm Atheros support as well.

Please stop spamming the same link with each post. We will ask Kickstarter to limit your ability to post here, if you continue doing so. It is a Community Guidelines violation.

Team iConsole has worked for the past 18 months to make sure everything from (optional) multi-touch to Miracast™ works great.

Out of the gates, we will support (over!) 25 iconic Laptops, PCs, x86 tablets and convertible devices with Console OS. And, here they are:

...

Intel: Next Unit of Computing (all NUC models except for Celeron 847)

...

These claims were false as the DP 1 failed to fully support this device as functionality was limited, and it was nothing more than the freely available Android-IA image downloadable from intel. Even without the "Pro" features and future development of this project, your claims of my device being fully supported from the outset were misleading and fraudulent. This latest release is not what I funded, I can download Android-x86 or Remix and have it booting on my Nuc in a matter of minutes, CON OS fails to even boot. There was no mention in the Campaign notes or RISKS about this project being based on Android-IA or that its closure would impact on Console os, you touted this as a fully working OS for the initial 25 supported devices, As your claims have been made fraudulently, Please refund my pledge. This project is dead.

From users perspective it looks like classic android-x86 image with Console OS logo and grub menu, i didnt notice any specific ConsoleOS thing in OS gui, what is sad even basic apps as Gallery and Terminal emulator are crashing right after start.

As i already wrote, we really need some release notes to prove that ConsoleOS is viable project..

At least download = mega redirect is working for me, but i would like to see some release notes or something about features.. There is some release notes, but they are for DR1 version - what is if im not wrong, year and half old version..

@Jason - You can log in to http://account.console.com.co and download Console OS Lollipop right now. The Kickstarter was to make Console OS happen, and we are continuing to deliver on that commitment. We will not refund you.

@Jason - We made the decision to combine the two editions of Console OS temporarily, to keep the project alive. We are not refunding people. We stated that this was the first OS Kickstarter, ever, and that the feature set may have to change. It did.

We are not refunding people because of that, and we will not. We would encourage those filing complaints, to review the Mid-2014 Kickstarter TOS, which allows us to take these actions.

You're are exercising your right (in kickstarter rules) about who you chose to refund, how about our (backers) rights? You refunded 13 backers why you can't refund us, the rest. You can ban me I don't care just give me my money back. It's only a few dollars but if you just admit that you give up (instead of keep promising something that is not true), I will consider a donation to someone that try his best but failed and just forget about the money.

I have tried to reset my password to the account.console.com here and there for a couple days. I get the email just fine. When I get the link to change it I get and Error Connection Timed Out message. Is there anyway around this?

I tried to claim my refund using the link u send me in email but it only redirects to a PayPal login and after logging in no further action happens. The amount does not get adds up. My account is verified.

We have a small bandwidth issue. We are testing Mega as our CDN, and we bought several terabytes worth of bandwidth. Unfortunately, it's not showing up on our account... we've opened a ticket (yes, a new day, a new support ticket).

The good news is that the downloads haven't been frozen out. But, we're a bit hesitant to send out a Kickstarter update, that could overload things until our accounts refresh.

Our current plan is to let the folks in UK/NZ update things on their end, and hopefully we can push out the update to everyone else.

Please do keep posting a comment (sans any identifiable info) if you cannot log in to account.console.com.co and download Lollipop. We'll pick up with those tickets first thing tomorrow.

Thanks everyone - this release is not about delivering our full vision. It's about getting back on track - with the easiest-to-install distribution of Android on PC today. We think we've done that today. We think this was a good day.

@Shiv - We checked your account. The email you have with Kickstarter is set up with backer benefits locked in. Double check that you are logging in with the Kickstarter email address in your Kickstarter profile for us. If that doesn't solve it, reply back.

@MMV: Thank you for the reply. When I try to register, it says the email account is already is in use, but I've never registered at that site. So I clicked on "forgot password", and got a password reset link via email, but that page never loads and Chrome times out with "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT".

PS: It's not urgent, I just don't want to miss out on the release, thanks. :)

@MMV: Just to clarify, the download that'll be released to backers is different from the link you've just posted, right? Because when I go to the link, it says the account type is "Console OS Standard Account Free". Can you please clarify if the full/proper release will be sent to all backers via email, or will it be posted here?

We are still doing testing and have not posted everything yet - but it seems some want access right-this-minute. As promised, if Kickstarter didn't act to clean up the comment wall as promised, we'd ship anyways. We're making good on that.

Later tonight and tomorrow, we'll set up additional forums (just for you backers) where we can group Kickstarter-related answers. Then we'll send out an update for everyone signed up via email.

@Gary - We can subjectively chose to take the best options that we feel are in the interest of all backers. When someone is willing to spend significant portions of their life, demanding hourly replies from us - or posting incorrect information we are compelled to respond to - on our own comment wall, we have to act.

That is our right under the Kickstarter TOS from mid-2014, and we stand by the call. All other backers are going to keep getting Console OS, hopefully later today too.
